The Taste of Heaven 38. Knight In Shining Armor
Nevea was done packing her things and ready to let everything go. She looked at the clock wall that showed it was already two. She pushed the curtain to the side and looked at the weather because, based on the weather forecast, Stormsire would be hit by heavy rain and storm today. Fortunately, it was sunny, and there was no sign of a storm brewing. Nevea lifted her backpack to her shoulder and made her way out of the door. She looked left and right, making sure there was no hunter or Zach near her. After making sure she was safe, she continued to stride cautiously. Just when Nevea got comfortable and let her guard down, she felt something hard touch the back of her head. Nevea gulped and hoisted both hands in the air as if she had given up. “Turn around.” The voice was familiar to her. If her guess were correct, it should be Bryan Wells, one of Team Four’s members. The good thing was he was a human like her. Nevea sighed. She would have had a slight chance to escape if the hunters
The Taste of Heaven 39. Running Away
Nevea didn't know what had happened. One moment she was bleeding and on the brink of death, and now she was suddenly thrown into another unexpected situation, which she believed she had never encountered before. The stark difference between the place and her clothing gave away that she was dreaming, or Zach was pulling a prank on her again. Right now, against her will, Nevea was sitting in front of a giant glass window that showed a vast landscape filled with towering trees. She then stood up, looked down at her creamy white dress, and felt the fabric on her skin. It was incredibly soft on her skin, which made her believe the material was most likely made of silk. Flower patterns adorned almost the whole part of the dress. 'Another dress… I'm dreaming again.' Nevea thought. She didn't know how in the world she could be in a dreamland, but her mind was totally aware of it. Despite that, she couldn't control her motion at all. She was to watch everything unfold before her eyes again.
The Taste of Heaven 40. Tangled
"Nevea!" Zach's angry scream reverberated through the bathroom walls. He pushed each door of the toilets without caring whether someone was using it. Since Nevea woke up, Zach had a feeling that woman was cooking something in her pretty little head. The way her eyes wandered around him like he was her worst enemy and how her heart accelerated like she was in trepidation. He should've known it, yet he ignored those signs. After her almost-dying experience, Zach thought Nevea would cling to his arm and beg for his protection. But it wasn't her if she didn't manage to surprise him. And now, she successfully played him and escaped from his clutch. Zach hit the mirror hard until it broke to pieces, and blood flowed through his knuckle. "Damn you, Nevea." He cursed. He, for once, didn't like to play with her like this. Knowing someone out there was hunting for her life didn't sit well with him. He wanted to be her shield and ensure that her soul stayed together with him for as long as h
The Taste of Heaven 41. Old Friend
Nevea had decided for Vuyshire, her birth city, to be her final destination. She had been on the road since last night, moving from one city to another. Luck seemed to be on her side since the driver never once checked on the truck's backside, making her journey smooth. Nevea only jumped from the truck when it finally passed the gate of Vuyshire. Before the incident with Max and Bryan, she had already used the phone from another visitor in the hotel to rent a place in Vuyshire. Not only that, but she also had withdrawn a large sum of money that would help her survive for a whole month. As for now, she was pretty much prepared to stay hiding in her new place until the situation deemed she could flaunt her face. Nevea then walked to her new place in haste. She pulled the zipper of her hoodie until it almost covered half of her face, making sure that none of the local people could see her. By now, Zach and Vlassta might have started their hunt. She believed they had already spread her
The Taste of Heaven 42. Vuyshire
Hanna Banks. How could Nevea forget that woman’s name? She had engraved it on her mind far since she was a kid. Her memory might be blurry on her face, but the name was enough to bring all the memories back.Just as she said, Hanna was a devil incarnation in her eyes. Nevea recalled how Hanna used to taunt her for being an orphan, calling her names because of her odd silver hair. At first, the young her thought it was nothing since kids were always making fun of each other. But Hanna didn’t stop with verbal abuse. That despicable kid took a drastic turn to haunt her and hurt her physically. Nevea, like a fool, accepted all the pain from Hanna. She didn’t even try to defend herself because she believed she had to be the wise one between them. She was taught to be a docile and kind child. So she did. However, her action backfired. It only drove Hanna to the edge.She remembered how Hanna started spreading rumors about her being cursed after the death of her first family. At first, the r
The Taste of Heaven 43. Memories
Nevea wasn't given a chance to comprehend the situation because Kiara had already dragged her away. She tried to break free, but to her surprise, Kiara was stronger than she thought. Kiara pulled her away from the main street to the small alley that Nevea was familiar. As they walked further, Nevea's brows furrowed because she could picture that Kiara somehow wanted to bring her to her first house after she got adopted. "What are you doing, Kiara?" Nevea's voice was firm and almost sounded angry, but Kiara completely ignored her and kept strolling. "Tell me before I decide to hurt you." She threatened, but it fell deaf to Kiara. Nevea then opted to attack one of Kiara's legs, but before she could do it, they came to a halt in front of a minimal-sized house with a brown fence. A long time ago, the house was hers. It was the place she got love and care from her foster family before death took them away from her. Nevea yanked her hands free from Kiara and glared at that woman with a
The Taste of Heaven 44. Fairy
“This is your punishment. You will never be forgiven unless you got his blood on your hands.” An old man said to her. Nevea was sure she never saw that man, but he spoke to her like he was her master. She wondered whose blood that man talked about. She had the idea that it might be Zach’s. But why would she need his blood?“You know very well that desire is forbidden, but you lust for a demon. And worse, you chose Zach.”Nevea’s breath hitched. She wanted to curse. What the hell was happening, and how could Zach be a demon? The demon was only a myth; they didn’t exist. “He has tainted your soul, and nothing except killing him would help to wash your sin.” “What sin are you talking about?” Nevea bellowed, but the old man didn’t hear her. Instead, he kept talking to the unconscious her. “We are sending you to earth, Nevea. He will come for you, trying to lure you again, but you shall kill him; that’s your only purpose on earth. You only have two chances. If you fail, you will have no
The Taste of Heaven 45. Purpose
“I am your kin, Nevea. A fairy.”Nevea muffled her laugh. This had to be the wildest day she had ever had. Everything that happened was just too ridiculous that she couldn’t help but feel that it was a mere figment of her imagination.“Fairy, you say. I must admit you have colorful imagination, Kiara.” Nevea barely bothered to hide her dislike. “First, you show me countless images with a different scene from what I remember; then you let me see a scene where I was punished for something silly. Lusting, that too for a demon. A creature we only know from myth.”“You manipulated yourself into believing you live with a harmonious family and also forget despicable things you’ve ever done. I merely helped you to see without something clogging your views.” Kiara defended herself. “And a demon. If vampires, a creature that used to be a myth, could walk freely. What makes you think demon couldn’t?”“You are manipulating me.” “Stop it. Deep down in your heart, I know you realize that everything

The Taste of Heaven 73. Tragedy
Gio looked up to see the beautiful moon shining brightly for them. Beside him was Efrain, who had taken off his black hood, showing his disfigured face. They were in the middle of the forest. New vampires they had turned before were put in the coffin. They were positioned in a circle. At the center was a flat stone, a place for Nevea.Efrain laughed, knowing he would get what he wanted in a matter of hours. Years of waiting in agony would be worth it. Efrain snapped his head to the back. “Ah, Zach and our fairy are already here,” Efrain mumbled. Then inhaled and exhaled through his mouth before focusing on making an illusion for them. That should be enough to make Zach busy. “What about Vlassta, Master?”“Release our warrior.” “Understood, Master.”***Nevea, Zach, and Vlassta moved inside the forest from different sides. Zach walked at the front while extending his hand to Nevea so they would not separate. Silas was also with them. He trailed behind Nevea. They had decided to l
The Taste of Heaven 72. Lover
"Everything has been settled, Master." Gio talked while sitting far away from his master. "Have you found out about the other fairy?" Gio's body tremored because he did not get a whim of the fairy who messed with their place. It only meant that the fairy was not as clueless as Nevea. Perhaps, the fairy was here on a mission. "Unfortunately, I can't find anything, Master."Efrain, the master, waved his hand in the air producing a strong wind that went in Gio's direction. The wind managed to slice the skin on Gio's cheek, yet his loyal servant did not budge from his seat. Gio received the punishment willingly since he was not capable enough. "Prepare the puppet and leave me alone." Efrain walked back and forth in his room. He had an inkling that the other fairy would ruin his plan. More importantly, he could guess that the fairy would do something unimaginable. For now, he was sure that the fairy wanted Nevea. "Zach, Vlassta, and now there is another fairy involved." Efrain slamm
The Taste of Heaven 71. Picking A Side
Raven rubbed his eyes after seeing Nevea sleep peacefully on the chair next to his bed. The woman appeared to be peaceful. Her hair which had now changed to brown fell freely on her back. Her chest kept rose and falling in a steady rhythm. The view that greeted him brought a content smile to Raven’s mouth. Gathering all his power, Raven changed his position to sit and face Nevea directly. He watched her intently like a fool in love. Oh, right. He was indeed a fool in love. It felt like years since the last time he saw her. So against his better judgment, Raven extended his hand to reach for her and feel her cheek against his skin. The warmth made Raven’s smile bloom even more. He swore he could watch her like this for eternity. “Stop looking at my woman like that.” Came cold and dangerous to destroy all the fairy tales in Raven’s head. Raven looked past Nevea’s shoulder and found Zach leaning on the door frame with arms folded before his chest while his legs crossed together. Tha
The Taste of Heaven 70. Dilemma
After their talk, Nevea and Zach spend their time searching for a clue by hanging out in the library. First, they read each book that contains demons and fairies. But, all the information they got was far from what they had experienced. When they read the history of demons, it is always related closely to hell and another sort of religion. And about fairies, it was just a story of a bunch of cute little things. What they read was pretty much useless. Not even once they mentioned purity. Kindness was there, but the ridiculous rule about desire was not mentioned. At this point, they were desperate. There was no way of knowing if these things unless they got all the puzzles inside their head. Kiara was out of options because that woman literally ceased from earth. Not only Kiara but Jude also went missing. There was no trace of Gio either. “What about your human friend?”“Raven? There has been no reply until today.”“Your friend is useless. You should’ve let my people do their job in
The Taste of Heaven 69. Raven's Action
Raven read the words on the tiny papers in his hand. Robert Dixon is working with The Bloody Movement. Don’t tell Logan until you get concrete proof. There was no sign of who wrote that note. It just appeared out of the blue three days ago. Since then, Raven could not look at Robert the same way. His mind filled with many speculations about that doctor. So, he began looking for a clue. “You’ve been staring at dr. Dixon for too long. Are you changing your preference after Nevea’s rejection?” Lola asked as she chewed her food. She had realized Raben’s strange gaze towards Robert since yesterday. At first, she thought that maybe Raven had something to discuss with Robert, but after seeing the intensity of Raven’s stare, Lola was not sure anymore that Raven wanted to consult with Robert. “Nonsense.”“Then why are you looking at him like that? You look like a creep.”“Don’t mind me; just eat your food,” Raven told her, then focused again on Robert. When Robert finally stepped out of
The Taste of Heaven 68. Confession?
As if everything was not enough. A sudden mass of vampires came from each side of the corner, surrounding Nevea and Zach. The new vampires stared at them with intense killing intent in their eyes. Zach scoffed. The nerve that bloody movement people for making this stupid plan. He looked at Nevea, who had lost half of her consciousness while battling with her pain. He caressed her hair softly and then murmured. "I'll be back."After saying that, Zach immediately went into a complete killing machine. He slayed each vampire that tried to get close to him or Nevea. He brutally killed them without battling an eye. He smiled each time he ripped the vampire's head from its body. Despite the heavy scent of blood and the loud echo of their cry, Zach found that it brought him a sense of peace. It was like this is how it was supposed to be. Him killing everyone without mercy. "All of you should die." He said, then snapped the vampire's head. Since he was focusing on the front, one of the v
The Taste of Heaven 67. Wings
As the process was done, Gio and Robert left the container. Leaving Jude alone to deal with the rest of the task. Zach kicked the closet open and walked out without worrying that Gio and Robert would be back again. Nevea trailed behind Zach, still in shock that Robert was part of The Bloody Movement. "Where is their final destination?" Zach inquired while scanning the whole area again. "We will bring them to another container in Grouver." "Drive normally, and we will be right behind you."Jude obeyed. Once again, Zach and Nevea drove in silence. They followed the big truck that brought twenty new vampires to Grouver. The snippet of Robert and Gio's conversation still left a bad taste in Zach's mouth. He wondered who their master was because the master seemed to know a lot more than Kiara. Zach believed it would be good to meet face-to-face with the so-called master. "Do you think we should tell Logan about Robert?" Nevea probed the question that had been bugging her for a while
The Taste of Heaven 66. True Face
The pungent scent of antiseptic dominated the container. Around an hour ago, Jude helped them sneak in after the talk with Gio. Overall, their conversation revealed nothing significant. It was just a simple report about the number of humans Jude has.Gio left as soon as he confirmed Jude had twenty humans and reminded them that the transformation would be held thirty minutes before midnight. So now here, Nevea and Zach, stuck in a big closet with a small hole to see the outside of the area.Feeling annoyed at Zach’s constant movement, Nevea nudged him with her elbow and said, “Stop moving around, Zach. They will hear you.”“They won’t,” Zach replied nonchalantly while focusing on looking from the small hole.“What is happening out there?”“Nothing has happened yet. Your fellow humans are still lying miserably on their beds, waiting for their death.”“They won’t die. Tomorrow they will be your fellow vampires.”“Aren’t you going to help them? Save them from turning into a blood-sucking
The Taste of Heaven 65. Back To Stormsire
“Where are we going?” Nevea asked when Zach started the engine. Yesterday, they made a deal not to talk about the whole ‘wife’ thing again until they got their memories back. Fortunately, after hugging him for a while, Zach regained his composure back. However, he still refused to talk about his feelings. “To hunt for the bloody movement. They are going to perform another transforming process today in Stormsire.” “How did you know that?”“I have my way.”The rest of the journey was spent in silence. Nevea didn’t bother to dig further into Zach’s informant and kept his mouth shut for the whole ride. Seeming not wanting to talk with her for even a second. When they passed the gate, the familiar views greeted them.Unlike the first time she visited, it was pouring hard this time, making the busy road turn silent. Only a few were wandering outside. Their car came to a halt in front of the bar. Zach’s elbow rested on the car’s window while his other hand gripped the steering wheel. H
